About This Restaurant
This is one of the best spots to watch the sun go down. Seriously, the sunsets here are legendary. Sitting right on the bay at the end of Dickinson Street, The Lighthouse has risen from the ashes - literally - to reclaim its spot as a favorite waterfront hangout. While the building is shiny and new from the 2021 rebuild, the soul of this place goes back over 40 years.
The Vibe: It is the definition of bayside chill. You have got a massive outdoor patio that practically touches the water, making it the ideal spot to nurse an Orange Crush while the sky turns purple. It is now part of the Lighthouse Cove development near the Hyatt Place, but do not worry - it has kept that laid-back Dewey energy you love.
Hungry after a day on the beach? You are in the right spot for casual seafood and beach eats. Longtime locals know this spot as the original home of the Taco Toss, and they still keep the fiesta going with killer taco nights. It is the kind of menu that pairs perfectly with a cold beer and a warm breeze off Rehoboth Bay.
Don't Miss: If you want a front-row seat to the best nature show in Delaware, grab a table here about an hour before dusk. It is one of the most photogenic happy hours in town.
